SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 596,057, dated December28, 1897.

Application liled June 1, 189 7. Serial No. 638,992. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EMRY DAVIS, a citizen of the United States, residingat New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful V Improvements in Penholder Attachments,of which the following is a full and complete specification, such aswill enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make anduse the same.

This invention relates to'penholders; and the object thereof is toprovide an improved device of this class which is adapted to beconnected with a desk, table, or similar article of furniture and whichmay be connected with an inkstand, if desired.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, ofwhich the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate partsof my improvement are designated by the same numerals of reference inboth views, and in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of a part of a desk ortable provided with my improved penholder, and Fig. 2 a section thereofon the line 2 2.

The chief object of this invention is to provide a holder for pen-stocksand pens when they are not in use, so as to prevent them from beingthrown down on a desk or table, and thus soiling or staining sucharticles of furniture, and in the drawings forming part of thisspecification I have shown at 5 a part of a desk or table; and in thepractice of my invention I provide a holder for the purpose hereinspeciiied, which consists of a conical attachment 6, the base of whichis directed upwardly and which is provided at the lower end thereof witha tubular extension 7,which is preferably screw-threaded, and at theupper end of said tubular extension said attachment is preferablyprovided with an annular flange or rim 8, and the opening through thehollow conical attachment 6 is so formed that a narrow inwardly-directedshoulder or projection 9 is provided at the upper end of the tubularextension 7.

The inner Walls of the conical attachment 6 are preferably convex inlongitudinal section, as shown at l0, and the operation will be readilyunderstood from the foregoing description when taken in connection withthe accompanying drawings and the following statement thereof.

In practice the pen-stock, with the pen connected therewith, is inserted0r dropped into the holder, as shown in Fig. 2, and the form of theinner walls of the holder and the annular inwardly-directed shoulder orprojection 9 are such that they operate to hold the pen-stock and pen asshown, the annular inwardly directed shoulder or projection 10 actingupon the pen so as to prevent the penstock and pen from tipping out ordropping out of the holder.

This device is simple in construction and operation and is perfectlyadapted to accomplish the result for which it is intended, and myimproved attachment or holder may be made of any desired material, hardrubber being preferred.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patentl. A holder for pen-stocks and pens, consisting of anattachment which is adapted to be secured to a desk, table or othersupport, said attachment comprising a hollow conical portion the base ofwhich is directed upwardly, and which is provided at its lower end witha cylindrical extension, and at the top of said cylindrical extensionwith an inwardly-directed annular shoulder or projection, substantiallyas shown and described.

2. A holder for pen-stocks and pens consisting of an attachment which isadapted to be secured to a desk, table or other support, said attachmentcomprising a hollow conical portion the base of which is directednpwardly, and which is provided at its lower end with a cylindricalextension, and at the top of said cylindrical extension with aninwardly-directed annular shoulder or projection, and also with anoutwardly directed flange or rim, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I cla-im the foregoing as my invention I have signedmy name, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 25th day of May,1897.

EMRY DAVIS.
